The player joins a team of four terrorists who use automatic weapons and explosives on civilians waiting at a security checkpoint before shooting their way through a terminal. Activision, in response to concerns that arose from such graphic imagery, issued the following statement: Infinity Wards Modern Warfare 2 features a deep and gripping storyline in which players face off against a terrorist threat dedicated to bringing the world to the brink of collapse. The game includes a plot involving a mission carried out by a Russian villain who wants to trigger a global war. In order to defeat him, the player infiltrates his inner circle. The scene is designed to evoke the atrocities of terrorism. In addition, Activision said that before starting the game, which is rated Mature by the ESRB, players must pass through a mandatory check point, a warning that upcoming gameplay may contain disturbing elements, and they can choose not to engage in the gameplay that involves this scene. Does it go too far? Much of the commentary on gaming sites (where Modern Warfare 2 is a highly anticipated title and a favorite for game-of-the-year honors) has defended the game and its publishers. The popular opinion among gamers is basically people can choose not to play it if theyre offended by it. Another popular argument is that this type of atrocity happens every day in the real world, and that not showing it in a video game is just naive. Defenders of violent video games are also quick to point out the weak links between video games and violence in the real-world. Still, others, like ferntfactor, who commented at GameSpot, think this part of the game goes too far: i just saw the video. theres a line, and i think that line has been crossed with this inclusion. morally, there is an enormous difference between trained combatant vs. combatant and combatant vs. innocent civilians. so this is not just like D-Day or Pearl Harbor scenes. i realize this is reality, and yes, it happens in the world every day, but its cruel, gutless and sickening, and i think putting players behind the gun in this situation is going too far. Others, including the games publisher, point out that games from the Call of Duty series often depict graphic scenes as an attempt to bring out the atrocities of war.
